Why is Creon the tragic hero in 'Antigone'?
Creon is not the tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character, the holder of great powers, and the doer of great deeds. That hero is tragic when his life takes an unfortunate turn. The description of the hero does not fit Theban King Creon, who is capable of no great deed or power. But the description of tragic does fit Creon, as a tragic figure in a tragic play about the tragedy of the tragic heroine Antigone.

Creon does not prove himself to be the tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character who does great deeds and holds great powers. He is tragic when his life ends unfortunately or takes an unfortunate turn. Theban King Creon lacks great powers and does no great deeds.

He requests information from Teiresias the blind prophet. He dislikes Teiresias not rubber stamping royal actions and therefore accuses him of taking bribes.
What does the chorus leader tell Creon about Teiresias' predictions in 'Antigone'?
That Creon needs to do what Teiresias tells him to is what the chorus leader tells Creon about Teiresias' predictions in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that the mourning and suffering that goes around all Thebes will come back to the Theban royal household. He cautions that Creon needs to bury Polyneices' body and free Princess Antigone. King Creon does not stop his torrent of insults and threats. But he mentions the predictions to the chorus leader, who says to do what Teiresias says.

Yes, Creon accuses both Teiresias and the guard of accepting bribes. He accuses Teiresias of being motivated by money in his prophecy, and he accuses the guard of being bribed by someone to bury Polynices.
